    Gun Powder Choices

    Ok great thank you. I will also be reloading 55-62 grain for plinking and having fun. Would you recommend a different powder for that or use it in all my .223 rounds?

    I'm new reloading and just getting started. This is my first go around and have a technical question regarding choices of gun powders. I am working on reloading new brass .223 rounds. I purchased Hornady 69 & 77 grain BTHP and would like to know what types of gun powder to use for precision...

    Thermal Night Vision Scopes

    I'm in the market for a Thermal Vision Night scope and would like some input as to what others might be using and like or dislike. My budget is $5500. I've looked at ATN ThOR series, FLIR RS series and Pulsar XD38. The plan is to hunt hogs and deer probably not more than 150-200 yards. I...

    Vortex PST series

    Thanks for the insight everyone. I went with the PST 6-24X50. Put it on my new Savage 10 FCP-SR/5R. Awesome scope so far, gun too.

    Savage Model 10 FCP-5R

    I have another decision to make. I have been searching for the Savage Model 10 FCP-SR 24" .308 but their just not out there. I have found a FCP 5R .308 but its about $200 more. $680.00 vs. $860.00 Is it worth the extra money? Does anyone one know much about these rifles? Will the 24" be to...

    I think I am ready to "pull the trigger" and purchase my first real scope but need some last minute advice. I am trying to decide between FFP or second FP. And, the PST 4-16x50 or 6-24X50 scope. I will mainly be target shooting (Bench & Prone) but from time to time be doing some hunting. Any...

    Twist Rate; How important?

    Let's put it this way. I am a beginner but want to learn how to shoot good as well as hunt. I will probably shoot it more at the range than go hunting because I don't have that much freezer space to keep all the meat. LOL If I get good I would consider diving deeper into the whole competition...

    Remington 700 VS. Savage Guns

    So I am all ready to purchase a new Remington 700 and a wrench gets thrown into the mix. A friend of mine who was an Army Ranger says that Savage Rifles have come a long way in the past couple of years. He recommend getting a good hunting rifle and then get a good precision rifle but can you...

    Deer Hunting with an AR15

    I know I know......there is lots of controversy about this and I have read about all the concerns hunting deer this way. In the mean time while I'm looking for a new hunting rifle and until I find the right one I have an AR-15 5.56 NATO that was built for precision. IF.....I go hunting...
